Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Russian: Пётр Ильич Чайковский)(7th May 1840-6th … Read Full Bio ↴Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Russian: Пётр Ильич Чайковский)(7th May 1840-6th November 1893; Old Style 25th April 1840–25th October 1893) was a Russian composer. He wrote some of the world's most popular concert and theatrical music in the current classical repertoire, including the ballets Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, the 1812 Overture, his First Piano Concerto, several symphonies, and the opera Eugene Onegin. His names are also transliterated Piotr, Petr, or Peter Ilitsch, Ilich, Il'ich or Illyich; and Tschaikowski, Tschaikowsky, Chajkovskij and Chaikovsky (and other versions; Russian transliteration varies between languages).
Tchaikovsky was born in Kamsko-Votkinsk, Russia, to a mining engineer and the second of his three wives, a Russian woman of French ancestry. Musically precocious, he began piano lessons at the age of five. He obtained an excellent general education at the School of Jurisprudence and was a civil servant before entering the St Petersburg Conservatory from 1862 (the year of its foundation) to 1865. In 1866, he was appointed professor of theory and harmony at the Moscow Conservatory, established that year. He held the post until approximately 1878.
From 1878, Tchaikovsky focused primarily on composition. Tchaikovsky toured the United States in 1891 conducting performances of his works. In 1893, Tchaikovsky was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Cambridge University.
Tchaikovsky died nine days after the premiere of the Sixth Symphony, the "Pathétique". Most of his biographers have considered his death to have been caused by cholera, most probably contracted through drinking contaminated water several days earlier. In recent decades, however, various theories have been advanced by some sources that his death was a suicide. However, these theories have not yet been substantiated with proof.

Darth Imperious I do understand what you trying to get across, And yes it is true to some extent but you cant say its a Universal thing. You know as well as i do that where talking 0.001% of..."us" Are actually receiving Benefits from our Genes that Significantly improve our usefulness in a modern world. Now yes that does mean that if we kept it in the Family for say we would Advance a lot quicker than we would if we Crossed gene Pools. But its still at its very core Morally Wrong.
People in Africa are already been introduced to technology from The rest of the world and giving time there Of-springs will more than Likely start to Grow up surrounded by Stimuli directly associated to an Intellectual Upbringing.
C'mon dude its 2015. Get off the Racist High Horse and let it pull the Wagon its Tethered to a little easier ok? If Humans make it to 2200 Without Cultural Degradation or Downright annihilation then The "Races" Probably will have Things there likely to be Inherently good at... Even Sub Saharan's.
Now since you have got me Feeling so racist for saying Inequalities that yes may be there but still have no Place in Logic. I may as-well mention Asia or more Appropriately China. They had a long long time without War, With many of there Peasantry using Machinery and Developing in ways we still have not seen here yet. They had a Culture Based on Precision even before us so is it not there Right to Avoid us? To Shame us online?
Oh but thats right. Nordic people look pretty.
